Now there is some work on an add-on to AutoCAD to add some of the Sketch features currently named “Alias Sketch for AutoCAD 2010”.

You may be aware of the great Autodesk SketchBook Pro product for both Mac and PC as well as the new SketchBook Mobile for the iPhone. This is an AutoCAD add-on application for sketching and experimenting with creative concepts in AutoCAD. Inventor, Revit, AutoCAD, Collections and Vault software helps our customers design, visualise, innovate and implement Building Information Modelling (BIM) solutions.Here is a interesting project in the works in the labs, Alias Sketch for AutoCAD 2010. Quadra is an Autodesk Design software solution providers for the Construction and Manufacturing industries.

Once this is done click Drawing and the Select Template dialog box will appear. Click the Application button and choose New Toolbars, palettes, and Ribbon panels will flash on and off and then AutoCAD will display the Ribbon, as configured for the 3D Modelling workspace with a few additional panels. Open the Workspaces drop-down list on the Quick Access toolbar, or click the Workspace Switching button on the status bar and then choose 3D Modelling. You have to change the workspace, and then you have to open a new file by using a 3D template. So let’s take you through the top 3 tips to setting up a design for 3D in AutoCAD. But AutoCAD is still very much labelled as a 2D tool as opposed to a 3D tool. But it led us to think, how many other users are still under the impression that AutoCAD can’t do 3D?ģD is synonymous with Revit and Inventor.


Don’t laugh but, a contact of ours, who will remain nameless (for obvious reasons) was today years old when he realised AutoCAD was capable of 3D modelling.
